1t will not do to say that this picture is very
much overdrawn. With variations, it is abso-
lutely true to nature, so far as it points to the
charge that the 30 called process of education
in the public schools of the country, and in a
large majority of the private schools, is not ed
ucation at ALL but simply succession of at
tempts to overload the Intellectual stomach, as
it were, the only result OF which is the mental

Judge Latham's Opinion.

The recent opinion of Judge Latham, OF
the Lynchburg City Court, quashing the
Indictment against w. w. Larkin, an at
torney who had been indicted under the
barratry and champerty. acts, for dealing in
coupons, has attracted considerable atten-
| ton. The Adsance. Of that place, gives
the following as the result OF an interview
with the Judge. The position he takes is
common sense and sound.
| An A0tpance representative this morning In
terviewed Judge Latham. of the Corporation
Court, as to what his decision really was i'll the
| recent tax cases tried before him. He said sub
stantially: s.
taxation shall be uniform. .st.gs
The Legislature OF the state has undertaken
In the act under which Larkin was Indicted. to
require every person who sells a tax receiva-
BILE coupon of the State. to pay a license tax OF
one thousand dollars. This is in addition to
the tax which the stock broker or banker must
pay as SUCH If he be the person selling the cou-
pom. The Court here holds that if the Legisla-
ture can compel people who sell the States me-
gottable paper to pay a tax of one Thousand dol
lars, and exempt from taxation those who sell
the negotiable paper of Others. it can say that
any person who sells the stock of the Glamor-
gan Manufacturing Company shall pay a like
tax,,and exempt every similar enterprise in
The State may tax directly or Indirectly its
bonds and coupons, but it must tax all like
properly IN IRE same way. III may Tax licenses
and require lawyers who have practised five
years to pay SIS, and those who have practised
less than five years to pay smaller amount
but it cannot require lawyers doing business
north OF James river to pay license tax and
exempt those living south of that river alto
gether from taxation The discrimination dealt
with by the Court of Appeals in Ould vs. Rich
mond city was based upon a presumed differ
ence in the value OF the old and young lawyer
business. In that case the court held that the
Same amount of tax need not be required ofall
persons engaged in the same. business, but it
has never held, and the Judge thinks it never
will hold, that ID. h. Payne shall be taxed for
selling books in Lynchburg, while Suffer. Bell
and Gregory carry on the same business with
out paying the tax. This lack of uniformity the
constitution does prohibit.
The cons titutiOn and laws of the State consti-
tute a part OF every contract made while they
were in force, and the legislature cannot set
aside or alter them SO as to effect iDjuriously
any of the parties"
Col. Hansbrough the reporter for the Court
OF Appeals, was In the city yesterday, and says
Judge Lathams view was not presented by
counsel or considered by the court in the case
Of Commonwealth vs. Maury. decided on Thurs
day last.

Treatment in Nervous Dieases.

treatment In Nervous Dleasos.
making charge of nervous patient
the nurse should see that every reasonable
cause Of annoyance is removed. Rest,
quiet, and freedom from care is one Of the
best prescriptions, and whatever frets and
irritates retards recovery. The attention
should be. occupied and the mind diverted
without being fatigued. Symptoms should
never be dwelt upon and discussed, but
quietly disposed of in a few kind and
cheering words, while some measure is
taken for their alienation. Some of the
physicians who make the treatment of
these diseases a specially in their practice
order complete rest i'll bed for their pa
tients; they are separated from their
friends and put in charge of an efficient
nurse. and nothing can harrass or disturb
is allowed to near them. This treatment
is very effectual in some cases, but it can
hardly be carried out at home except I'M
der peculiarly favorable circumstances.
Nervous persons should have a.light, east
ly-digested diet, and be able to go out and
take moderate exercise in the open air. in
the hopes that the. exeritions may induce
natural sleep. They. should be encourag-
ed to exert themselves in any way not too
fatiguing and that is not likely to be fol-
lowed by a reaction. Light gymnastics
are sometimes beneficial, or some fresh
pursuit may be taken up that will occupy
the mind without firing it by. working in
worn grooves. After. exertion there should
be corresponding period of rest. The
physician in attendance will prescribe the
medicine he thinks most suitable and the
patient should be encouraged to have faith
in him in the good effects of the remedy.
